thetravellingbibliophile's review against another edition
4.0
As I have both anxiety and depression, I thought I'd read this book too, to see how it'll help me. It's a longer read than the author's other book, Making Friends with Anxiety, and it has similar advice (repeated verbatim at times) when it comes to similar topics. But it also has other advice on things like what you can do to help increase your mood even little by little, how the lack of energy can perpetuate the cycle of inactivity and increasing low mood, and building a foundation so you can be resilient for possible future low mood.
It helped me a lot as a first-time sufferer of depression, learning what I can do to help myself to try and get out of the hole. It may serve as a good reminder for those who've suffered depression before.
